Saving Energies and Resources
Saving is a good habit not only for an individual but for a company, factory, even the government. As we know, with the increasing population of the world, more and more natural resources and energies are consumed. If people want to have a healthy and good life in the long future, they have to form the habit of saving things.
Actually, for and individual, there are many things worth saving, such as water, food, power, etc. As is known to all, water shortage has been a serious problem in many areas and countries. For example, in the west area of China, many people store rain for cleaning and cooking. Since drinkable water is limited in the world, we should save water as possible as we can in our daily life. For the same reason, we should also save power. We can limit the time of using air conditioners, and set the temperature not too high or too low. Turn off lights when we leave. Use towel instead of facial paper to save paper. Stop using once-and-away chopsticks to save wood. If everyone can form good habit of saving, we can make great contributions to the whole world.
Only by saving can we protect our environment for a better world both for ourselves and for the future generations.
